This is a page that is most useful to people active on this Wiki — people who update, comment, and otherwise interact but require a centralized place to discuss matters relating to the wiki. It is also a good place to learn about how decisions get made on Davis Wiki. It is a central hub for all "meta" wiki discussion pages. If you use IRC, you might want to check out #daviswiki on Freenode ( irc.freenode.net ). If you are new to the wiki, check out the Welcome to the Wiki entries.

Remember, you are part of the Wiki community, and you're welcome to participate. This wiki is of and for the people of Davis, so jump on in!

Managing and expanding the wiki

Site Organization is the central place for organization methods (such as finding pages that are linked but not created, pages that have no links to them, etc). You also might want to check out our Wiki Guide and Help with Editing to learn the basics.

Wiki Resources is a list of real world resources that are relevant to Davis and are good sources for new wiki entries.

Talk Pages contain page specific discussions. Some of them raise points that cover issues beyond a single page and move to Wiki Community pages for further discussion.

Discussion areas

If you have any questions at all feel free to ask them — these discussion areas are probably the best for this!

General

General Discussion — General discussion of the content of the wiki, ideas, and anything you can think of should go here.

Technical Discussion — Geeky discussion relating to the backend of the site, potential changes, would be best here.

Ask the Community — About media and press asking questions of the entire wiki community

Just plain silly

Links of interest

Some of these links are to outside sources. Keep in mind these are just opinions, of course, but they make good reading.

Welcome to Wiki - Since this community can be edited by anyone, it can be easy to disagree with someone too strongly. However, this will cause people to respect your opinions less — disagreeing respectfully is the best way to get things done on a wiki. Also check out the original.

Wiki Gremlin - Wiki Gremlins are not necessarily trolls, they may be people you know and love, but they edit parentheses and things to damage the credibility of authors and generally lame-ify the wiki.

Wiki Rapture - is the condition of persons who have recently discovered the wiki and become enraptured by its potential. Sufferers of Wiki Rapture are known to get in epic debates with the community about what the wiki is and is not, and generally be unaware of or disagree with wiki social norms. See Wiki Puppy
